Joe Casey, the star of the Placer County All-Star baseball team, has hit 11 home runs in the team's first thirty games. If he continues this pace how many home runs will he hit in a 162 game season? How many home runs is he expected to hit?

Respuesta :

Answer: 59.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using direct proportion where y = kx

y = number of games

x = number of home runs

k = constant of proportionality

Since y = kx

30 = 11k

k = 30/11

The home runs will he hit in a 162 game season will then be:

= 162 ÷ 30/11

= 162 × 11/30

= 59.4
